Maggs responds to critics

John Maggs has defended his tactics during Saturday's win over Hendon, declaring that it was the greater strength of substitute Steve Davies that helped his side turn defeat into a victory. The manager's decision to replace teenage midfielder Adam Hutchings met with disapproval from several supporters but Maggs insisted that the final result meant that his actions were vindicated. "We were getting battered in the first half and the heavy conditions just didn't suit the lad," he explained. "I can't understand it when people say its wrong for me to take Adam off but, in my view, its not fair to keep him on when its not happening for him."
